Data Discovery

Why It's Important

Data breaches are the largest source of identity theft and the cost of reacting to a breach is far more expensive than preventing one. Because today's organizations rely so heavily on collecting, storing and analyzing data, it is critical to protect this data just like any other valuable business asset.
